RE: Over-The-Rhine Digest V2 #866 -Reply
I also was at the Symposium show. It was okay, a bit small for Over the
Rhine though. I was just happy to be seeing the band again. It had been
awhile. I like when they play at Brady's in Kent. It always seems more
friendly and intimate there.
Joe, your nostalgic description of the "old" Over the Rhine made me miss the
energy of those shows too! I still love them now though. The style is
different, but beautiful all the same.

I would have to agree that the Symposium is not the right venue for OTR. If
I could make a suggestion.... The Diamondback Brewery would be ideal. It is
just getting going as a "concert" club. The aesthetics are great. The beer
is fairly decent (microbrewed), the location is excellent, as is the food.
As a veteran of many OTR shows in the past few years, I would have to say
that it was NOT ONLY the venue that caused such a poor show last Friday
night. The band was off.The set list was poorly written, and the band simply
didn't capture the crowd. You can argue that the crowd and the venue
affected their performance, and I would say that as an entertainer, it is
your duty to play to the crowd, and do what it takes to reel them in. How
about mixing in something upbeat every now and then? Is there anyone else
out there that misses spirited renditions of "Il Est Dans mon pache",
"Circle of Quiet", etc.? The versions of C.O.Q., and Lucy they do now are
pathetic. My friends, who are m!
ore than casual OTR fans, were as bored and disappointed as myself. I miss
Brian Kelly. I miss Karin with long blond hair, a little belly shirt, and a
great big smile on her face. I miss the enrgy and the joy of OTR that has
been gone for so long now. I am tired of "Jack's Valentine". I was most
likely one of the assholes by the bar who was boisterously drinking. I
apologize for wanting to kick back on a Friday night. Memo to OTR: Buy a
ticket to a Springsteen concert and re-learn what it means to GIVE BACK to
the fans.
